Asking Alexandria is a band from York, North Yorkshire, England. The band started in 2007 when the guitarist called his old friends to meet up after moving. The band members are Bruce (guitarist), Danny (vocalist), Cameron (lead guitarist), Sam (bass guitarist), and James (drummer). This band is considered a post-core/metal-core band. Asking Alexandria uses hardcore lyrics and heavy tunes to create amazing music. In a little over two years, this band went from nothing to being well known in England and the US.

Recently, this band is on tour with many other bands including We Came As Romans, From First to Last, Our Last Night, and A Bullet For Pretty Boy in the "Welcome to the Circus" tour. Along with touring, this band has also released a lot of music to the public. So far, they have released one full-length track album called "Stand Up and Scream", which they released in 2009. They plan on releasing another album later on this year called "Reckless and Relentless". With their music, they have also released a music video for one of their songs called "The Final Episode".

Asking Alexandria is a very talented band that has been very successful throughout that past few years, and is still on the verge to becoming bigger and getting well known. As they keep touring for the next few months, they will gain fans and popularity, and I think that they have the potential and talent to do so. They have already participated in 7 tours with other popular bands, and that shows that they are in demand. I highly recommend listening to this band if you like talented screamers and hardcore music.

Blessthefall

Blessthefall is a band that includes five members. Mike (guitarist), Jared (basist), Beau (vocals), Matt (drums), and Eric (guitarist) all came together and formed the band in Phoenix, Arizona. They are a Christian-oriented screamo quintet with some hip-hop and nu metal influences. As of today, they have released two EP's and two full length albums in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2009.

"The 12-track album packs a punch that shows the pain, trouble, and growth the band has experienced through their reformation. By not only demonstrating but also nearly perfecting and setting a new industry standard for many of the popular techniques and elements, Witness is an amazing album that will blow away the hardcore fans of the world and take Blessthefall to the top of the music scene."

Along with albums and new music streaming, they have released a few different music videos onto YouTube and other websites. The music videos are for the following songs: "What's Left of Me", "A Message to the Unknown", and "Guys Like You Make Us Look Bad".

This band is recently on tour with As I Lay Dying , Demon Hunter, and War of Ages.
Blessthefall has gone touring with many other bands before.
"Blessthefall toured with Escape the Fate, LoveHateHero, Before Their Eyes, and Dance Gavin Dance on the Black On Black tour. They were also part of the Underground Operations Tour And Loathing Tour, opening for Protest The Hero and All That Remains, along with Threat Signal and the Holly Springs Disaster. They were a part of From First to Last's fall headlining tour, with A Skylit Drive and Vanna. They then began a tour with Silverstein, their first European Tour. Others are Idiot Pilot, Bullet for My Valentine, Atreyu, and headliner Avenged Sevenfold."

Blessthefall has grown to gain many fans and from what I've heard, they are a very good crowd pleaser. I truely would love to see them perform. I suggest listening to this band if you are into good upbeat music that can get you moshing.

A Skylit Drive

A Skylit Drive consists of six band members, including Jag (singer). Joey (guitarist), Nick (guitarist), Kyle (keyboardist), Cory (drums), and Brian (basist). Started in Lodi,California in 2006, they started off as a typical high school band. This experimental/rock/screamo band has gained familiarity throughout the past few years by touring with other bands.

A Skylit Drive is recently on tour with Alesana, Bury Tomorrow, and Emarosa.

Along with touring, this band has released an EP and two albums.
"They released their first EP, titled She Watched The Sky, with Tragic Hero Records in January 2007 and the follow-up full length album Wires… And the Concept of Breathing on May 20, 2008. Now signed to Fearless Records, the band has released their second full length, Adelphia, on June 9, 2009."

This band plays upbeat tunes and shredding guitar solos in many songs. They are a very good band when it comes to unique sound and playing live. A Skylit Drive is also known to be very down to earth when they meet or hang out with their fans. When they arrive to a concert venue, they stay with their fans to have meaningful conversations and make memories with those who enjoy their music. In my opinion, I believe that this band is an amazng and talented band, along with many other screamo rock bands.

Black Veil Brides

A band consisting of 5 members, called Black Veil Brides, has rised to becoming popular through YouTube with their music video for "Knives and Pens". The band includes Andy Six (lead singer), Sandra A (drummer), Jinxx (lead guitarist), Ashley Purdy (bassist), and Jake Pitts (guitarist).
Throughout the years, they have released two EP's. One is called "Sex and Hollywood", released in 2007, and the other called "Never Give In", which was released in 2008.
Along with these EP releases, they announced that they will soon be releasing their first full album later in 2010 called "Never Give In".
While recording their upcoming album, they have been touring with bands like Eyes Set to Kill, Confide, Sleeping With Sirens, and From First to Last. They have seen an increase in their popularity, and many fans come to see them live, including me.
This band is a huge crowd pleaser. As they approach the stage, the crowd is already full of excitement. Once they start performing, the crowd goes crazy, chanting or screaming every lyric. There have been times where some fans actually got seriously injured, including broken ribs in a crowd.
This band that started out in Cincinnati, Ohio became successful over the years, and will keep gaining success. This summer, they plan on doing a headlining tour, which they will announce later.
They are one of my top favorite bands to listen to. They hold a message that they want you to be happy with who you are, and to accept yourself, even if others don't. The song "Knives and Pens" is meant to get to people who are made fun of for being "emo" or wearing what they want to wear. They are a good influence and a good inspiration.
